For some reason the first time I tried this it didn't take. Sorry for the confusion...

I am somewhat worried about bandwidth and posting a podcast either on my website and/or my dotMac account. I have the drive space, its the bandwidth that may be an issue. So I've been looking at alternative hosting.

I have it narrowed down to:

http://www.ourmedia.org - which is free but has some problems I have read about. It's also dead slow at times. I also understand it's an "alpha" release.

and

http://www.libsyn.com - Liberated Syndication - paid site with reasonable rates, but I haven't been able to find any reviews positive or negative.

So I am asking for opinions on either of these two sites or if you have alternatives.

Thanks

-Steve

If you wanted to stay with dotmac, opt for the 1GB storage. Not only do you double the space, but your bandwidth goes from 3GB a month to 10GB a month. You'd need a very, very, very popular podcast to near that amount.

Good idea. The only thing is that I would have to hand code the xml for the rss feed - something I was trying to avoid ( I know, I know, stop whining).

Ahh. I'm using iBlog. A little date but it suits my purposes and I've been able to create Podcasts and rss feeds from it; Got my first two episodes on the iTMS.
